Why is Christ considered our mediator?

Answered in 1 source

Christ serves as our mediator because He reconciles sinners to God through His perfect sacrifice and ongoing intercession.

The role of mediator is fundamental in understanding Christ’s work. The sermon notes that a mediator exists due to a division between two parties; in this case, God is the offended party due to sin. Christ bridges this gap by taking the place of sinners, as mentioned in Romans 5:10, where it states that we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son. Through His sacrificial death and perfect obedience, He fulfills the law's requirements on our behalf. Furthermore, as our ongoing mediator, Christ intercedes perpetually for His people, ensuring that God’s wrath is satisfied and His covenant promises are realized for the elect, as seen in Hebrews 7:25.
